1. Product Overview
The Osmo 3029 Liquid Wax Cleaner is designed for the effective cleaning and maintenance of oiled and waxed timber, cork, and oak floors, as well as furniture. This product simultaneously cleans and regenerates surfaces, leaving a satin-matt finish that can be polished to a higher sheen. It is particularly effective for removing stubborn stains like dark shoe marks and is suitable for occasional maintenance.
Formulated with natural vegetable waxes, this cleaner is water-repellent and nearly free of odors and benzene. One liter of Osmo 3029 Liquid Wax Cleaner covers approximately 100 square meters, depending on the application method and surface condition.

2. Safety Information
Always read the product label before use. Keep out of reach of children. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or label. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.
3. Setup and Preparation
- Surface Cleaning: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from loose dirt and dust. Vacuum or sweep the area thoroughly.
- Product Preparation: Shake the Osmo 3029 Liquid Wax Cleaner bottle well before use to ensure all components are evenly mixed.
- Test Application: Always perform a small test application in an inconspicuous area to check for compatibility and desired finish.
4. Operating Instructions (Application)
Follow these steps for optimal results:
- Initial Application: Apply a thin, even coat of the liquid wax cleaner onto the prepared surface using a lint-free cloth, mop, or a specialized Osmo application pad. For stubborn stains or in joints of parquet tiles, a small amount can be scrubbed in with an old toothbrush or abrasive sponge.
- Stain Removal: For localized stubborn stains or paint splashes, a stainless steel scourer or wallpaper scraper can be used carefully with the cleaner, followed by immediate wiping.
- Drying Time: Allow the applied cleaner to penetrate and dry for approximately 30 minutes. Ensure good ventilation during this period.
- Buffing: After the drying time, polish the surface with a clean, dry cloth or a buffing machine to remove any excess wax and achieve the desired sheen. For a higher gloss finish, vigorous buffing may be required.
- Coverage: A 1-liter container is sufficient for approximately 100 square meters, depending on the absorbency of the wood and application method.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance with Osmo 3029 Liquid Wax Cleaner helps preserve the beauty and protection of your wood surfaces:
- Routine Cleaning: For daily cleaning, use a damp cloth with water. For deeper cleaning and regeneration, use the liquid wax cleaner as described in the operating instructions.
- Periodic Re-application: For optimal protection and to refresh the finish, re-apply the liquid wax cleaner periodically, typically once a year, or as needed based on wear and tear.
- Tool Cleaning: Clean application tools immediately after use with Osmo Brush Cleaner and Thinner or a similar solvent.
6. Troubleshooting
- Dull Finish After Application: If the surface appears dull after application, it may be due to insufficient buffing or uneven application. Ensure the product is applied thinly and evenly, allowed to dry, and then thoroughly buffed with a clean cloth or machine to achieve the desired sheen.
- Product Not Providing Expected Protection/Sheen: This could be due to improper application, insufficient drying time, or the surface not being adequately prepared. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application, apply a thin coat, allow sufficient drying time (at least 30 minutes), and buff thoroughly. For heavily worn areas, a second thin application might be beneficial after the first has fully dried and been buffed.
- Streaks or Residue: Streaks can occur if too much product is applied or if it is not buffed off properly. Apply very thin coats and ensure all excess is removed during the buffing process.
